About This Item
Spokane, Washington: Arthur H. Clark Company, 1990. Hardcover. New/None (as issued). Volume itself has red cloth covers with sharp gilt lettering on the spine. 193 pages, including an index and a fold-out map. Stillman's letters were first published in The Crayon, a prominent but short-lived journal of landscape art, in 1855. The obscurity of the journal hid the value of the letters until Ron Tyler rescued them. Stillman traveled from Port Lavaca through Anaqua, Goliad, Helena, San Antonio, and as far as the Pecos River. His account supplements the diary of his friend and fellow diarist, Frederick Law Olmsted. A very nice, new copy, protected in clear archival quality Brodart cover; available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box!
